On Tuesday, Kostomarov jumped on the ice for the first time after a long treatment during Oksana Domnina’s number on the Ilya Averbukh show.
The Olympic champion stepped onto the ice and hugged his wife, prompting a standing ovation from the stands. After that, she turned to the audience.
“Thank you for all the warm wishes! All of you were worried, like our entire great team together with Ilya Averbukh. I felt everything, I saw everything and I am grateful to you for it. Thank you very much. May everyone be happy and healthy, stay tuned to your health, all the best for you”, Sport24 quotes Kostomarov.
In January 2023, the skateboarder was hospitalized with pneumonia. Doctors have long fought for the life of an athlete. Kostomarov began tissue necrosis, which led to several amputations. Currently, the Turin Olympic champion in ice dance continues to actively train with prosthetic legs.
